Summary

Unemployment insurance is a nationwide program created to provide partial wage replacement to unemployed workers while they conduct an active search for work. Unemployment insurance is a joint federal-state program based on federal law and executed through state law. SeeNevada Unemployment Insurance.

Employers finance unemployment insurance with state and federal tax contributions. The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) was created to finance all administrative expenses of the federal/state unemployment insurance system and the federal costs involved in providing benefits. The Nevada unemployment tax is used only for the payment of regular benefits to qualified unemployed workers. SeeNevada Unemployment Insurance.

Nevada unemployment insurance is provided under Nevada's Unemployment Compensation Law and is administered by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. Most employers are subject to the Unemployment Compensation Law. SeeNevada Unemployment Insurance.

Unemployment benefits will generally last for up to 26 weeks. SeeBenefits.

Claimants must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible for unemployment benefits. SeeEligibility.
